About Cedar Bakery

Cedar Bakery is a Lebanese-inspired bakery and café in Taylors Lakes, Victoria, and it's the kind of place where the smell of fresh bread greets you at the door. It sits in a spacious spot with seating inside and out, and there's a free car park and an accessible entrance, which makes it easy for groups and families.

The pies are what people tend to bring up first. The cheese pie and the potato, egg and chicken pie both get a mention, and we hear they come out fresh from the oven. Beyond the pies, the menu leans into Middle Eastern flavours: falafel wraps, zaatar vegetables, manoush, and vegan-friendly choices. Breakfast is a big part of the trade too. Chilli scrambled eggs and egg and potato dishes are popular, and locals say the food arrives quickly once you've ordered. One regular calls the falafel wrap with chips their favourite order so far.

Coffee is on the menu as well, and one local rates it the best in the west. If you'd rather not sit down, takeaway, delivery and in-store pick-up are all available, and there's a shelf of spices, pickles, dips and other pantry items to browse while you wait. They also do catering for team meetings, family gatherings and private events.

People often describe the staff as friendly and welcoming, and a few names come up for going out of their way. Value gets a nod too, with portions described as decent. We've heard the odd grumble about slow service at busy moments, and one family had an order go astray. Some people have found it worth a visit, but it can pay to flag the staff early when you're ready to order.

Cedar Bakery is open seven days, with slightly shorter hours on weekends, so check the hours before you head in. It suits a relaxed brunch, a quick takeaway pie, or a spread of Lebanese baking for a gathering.
